01. Bulletproof - Lyrics:
Locked up behind these walls
Ages of trying to cope
Behind December's walls
Years and years of finding myself
This was the longest journey I've ever made
Days of wasting tears and no one cares
Countless nights, drowning in worthless nightmares
Ages of trying to cope
Ages of not giving up hope
Keeping alive the hope for a deeper sense
For a better understanding of my world
My destiny, my goals and myself
Climbing out of that endless misery
No security, no confirmation of an end
Alone in the masses, Alone in the masses...
Alone in the masses
Yeah!
Is there anybody on my side?
Please appear now
I feel, I feel myself slowly crumbling
Yeah!
And when the rain is coming I can feel myself melting into the ground
Becoming the puppet I never meant to be
I don't know how, I don't know why
So sure I don't deserve this
But there came an eastern wind that brought me forward
Pushed me out of the sludge
Formed my actual self
Buried my inner demons
Locked up December's walls
(Locked up) Behind December's walls
The rain can't force me down, can't force me down anymore
I'm strong enough to hold back the storms now
Seeing my visions clear like never before
From that day I met you
For what you are, for what you saw in me
Now I can see clearly all the wrong paths I took
The prospect is perfect
From the roof I see down the walls
From the roof I am bulletproof
I am bulletproof
(From the roof I see down the walls, from the roof)
I am bulletproof, I am bulletproof...
And if the vultures are ever circling above me again
You can be sure I won't let you go
Because I know you can still feel my passion
Strengthened by the scars I've collected in the past
I will move heaven and earth to save this
Because...I am bulletproof!
I... AM... BULLETPROOF!
02. Restless - Lyrics:
Restless!
We raise, we fall
Restless!
Restless!
We raise, we fall
What was that, where the hell have I gone through?
What happened to me?
Realize that I've lost control
My body is paralyzed, my mind is blurred
On the ground like a fallen leaf, fallen from the trembling tree
Not living, just killing time
I'm afraid to lose what was mine
I feel so, I feel so restless!
We raise, we fall
What if this was my last breath?
Foreign in my own body and mind
It seems like I'm stranded on a dark cloud, where there's no place to hide
Alone, alone in the dark, hoping for my sunrise
Somebody must hear my inaudible cry for help
Please show me the way out
(What, what)
(Please show me the way out!)
I'm chasing the wind and try to catch the light
How many hours will it still take?
Staring up to the clouds above and listening to the same damn song over and over again
I want to run away
Run away from myself, because at any moment everything can change (everything can change)
What is this, what was that?
How many hours will it still take?
(What, what)
What is this, what was that?
I want to run away from myself
What is this, what was that?
I assume it's the normal circle of despair after touching the sky
And now it is falling down on me
Was it worth it?
(Was it worth it?)
Was is it really worth it?
What if I can't ever be free anymore?
Let's go! (Oh!)
I feel so, i feel so...
Restless!
We raise, we fall
What if this was my last breath?
Foreign in my own body and mind
It seems like I'm stranded on a dark cloud, where there's no place to hide
Alone, alone in the dark, hoping for my sunrise
Somebody must hear my inaudible cry for help
Please show me the way out
Is this, is this the reality or just an illusion?
Bite my tongue to see if I can still feel
Time vanishes into oblivion, into a black hole
Please help me out!
03. Back To Zero - Lyrics:
[Featuring: Ryo Kinoshita]
Face the truth, we are surrounded by lies
This ship will sink, never sleep with closed eyes
Don't follow those voices (follow those voices)
A little closer to the ground
Pieces are falling and they will never be found
They will never be found
My belief breaks into a thousand shards
Yeah!
I will refuse to face defeat
Nobody wants to face the truth
The moment has come to turn the page
They said (They said) you have to swallow your pride and learn to adapt
But I'm unwilling to be one of those who just sits back in the dark
Fuck!
I'll take back what was mine
I'll take back what was mine
I'll take back what was mine
Broken reality falls down on me, the world is my enemy
Am I the only one who can see through the mask?
I envy your calm, can't you see the hurricane?
No time for reproaches, I warned you again and again
Where do we want to belong to now?
Write your name on your lifeboat and follow the lifeline
Escape the squall for the last time
We'd rather live (we'd rather live) one day in this selfish world as a wounded lion, than a hundred years as a controlled sheep
Leave this shit behind, no time to sleep
We climb this wall, no fears to fall
We won't give this shit up till we reach the top
I promise (I promise) it will be the brightest spot
This is our target
We never stop, we never forfeit, I can not abort it
No exception to permit
Just look into my eyes, they're reflecting your fear from the past few years
But this is not the end
No, this is not the end
Believe me or not but this right here is not the end (Oh!)
Take your place, it's time to move
Give me a knife for those ropes
Give me something to break these chains
Give me the command to bring the ship back on course again
Give me a knife for those ropes
Give me something to break these chains
Give me the command to bring the ship back on course again
Back to zero
Escape the fate, it's time to chose
Take your place, it's time to move
Back to zero
Escape the fate, it's time to chose
Rewind the past, you must approve
Raise your fist, this is your last chance
We won't turn away and turn back to grey
And I'm sure someday the colours will visibly gleam again
04. Dear Diary - Lyrics:
The sun sets, reality becomes tactile
The taste of life is killing the smile
Shake your numb reality, but never give up no matter how hard it will be
Yeah!
There is no way to escape, there is no shortcut (Shortcut!)
All of sudden everything changes
And from now on every breath feels so strange
A stab in the back without warning
Fall asleep and hope all is forgotten in the morning
I'm paralyzed (Paralyzed!)
I close my eyes and try to set the time back (time back)
I just want to fall into a deep sleep
Wake up and realize that everything was just a nightmare
Somebody take this away from me
These cursed ups and downs
This mental pressure, sometimes hope drowns
How long does it still take
Till the chains around my neck break?
Yeah!
Broken mirrors
I can't see the reality clearly
Millions of sharp pieces are starring at me
Please, I can't bear to see you fall again
(But I know you'll never give up!)
But I know you'll never give up
Never, never, never...
I just want to fall into a deep sleep
Wake up and realize that everything was just a nightmare
Somebody take this away from me
Take this away from me...
05. Crossed Fingers - Lyrics:
[Featuring: Björn Krebs]
Living day by day with remorse
But I try to push it to the back of my mind
My hands are shaking, I can't resist no more, I can't fight back
Brick by brick, step by step, stick by stick
Look at me, what have I become?
From time to time I feel like everything in me is dead
Do you know what it's like to sleep forever
Endless thoughts, blinded by drugs, numb the pain, it never stops
I say it's the last time
And cross my fingers behind my back (for myself)
No regrets for a long time
And all my habits, my habits will come back (will come back!)
Lift my glas to the end of the past
Back to the start because time runs too fast
Forcing myself to breathe
I see myself but it's not really me
My enemy is me
Lie to myself, hope everyday again that I lose my selfproduced pain
I try to leave this cage inside and refuse to listen to the voice in my head
Got to lose my craving (for more!)
I need to get out of this
Forever bound, forever in chains
(Forever bound!)
I have to live forever with this shadow on my face
It was never gone and I guess it will never go away
I can't decide which way to take to find my bliss
There's no light I can follow, no god I can believe in
Please help me out of this
(What, what)
I take my last hit before I get sick
Please help me out of this
I say it's the last time
And cross my fingers behind my back (for myself)
No regrets for a long time
And all my habits, my habits will come back (will come back!)
Tear me down and let me drown
Tomorrow (I promise) I'll break up
But only tomorrow
I don't want to chase the dark clouds anymore (anymore!)
Break free
I try to escape from this cage and turn the next page
I walked these cold streets all by myself, so the last steps I'll cope under my own steam
No dreams at night only daydreams (Oh!)
I tried to hide it from the ones I love but I can't pretend anymore (anymore!)
I can't hide anymore
Break, Break free
06. From The Depths - Lyrics:
Hey you!
I know that you hear me, I know that you feel me, no chance to set you free
I know that you fear me and that you can't see me (can't see me!)
I know all your diary stories and all your dirty secrets that you can't hide
I know that you know me, but you can't tell anyone (anyone!)
You can't locate me anymore
The idea of innocence is ridiculous, just steer away from these recurring thoughts
You are a liar, you are a masquerader
Maybe you can mislead your environment
Maybe you can convince your friends and enemies
Just smile and go away, just cry and hate yourself
But you can never deceive me (never deceive me!)
Fuck!
I can feel that you are trying to deny my existence
When you're fighting against your ego and your misgivings
There is no one who could help you, no one who would believe you
When we would appear together, enrage united
Forgetting what's right or wrong, what's laudable or vile
Too many stories untold (Yeah!)
Too many facts unrecognized (Oh!)
It's already enough
Never try to deceive me
It's already enough
Never try to deceive me
Never try to deceive me
And now you can feel me clearly
Never try to deceive me
Now you can learn to accept my terrifying antic (Fuck you!)
This is truly the end, this is cruelly the truth
But I do as I always did, because you are I, and I am you
We're coming from the depths
We're coming from the depths
We're coming from the depths
07. The Grand Delusion - Lyrics:
Breathe in, breathe out without a sound
Keep breathing, day in day out. Yeah!
Speak up, shout out, somebody will hear you
No matter what, I'm going through - with or without you
Sometimes this world resembles a dead garden without blooms
A park full of barren trees or like a song without melody
A laugh without a sound and sleep without dreams
Shadows without sun or a sky without any shining stars
(This world is) This world is a fire without heat
Can you hear the clock? Yeah!
A life without dreams
You won't find another world other than this one
A life without dreams (Oh!)
You consume what they urge you to
Guided by the masses
Brainwash, no ifs, no buts
Everything makes sense to you
It leaves deep scars behind
But no matter what
Keep breathing, day in day out
Speak up, shout out, somebody will hear you
No matter what, I'm going through - with or without you
Everything is delusion
I step outside, close the door and even at this time I feel boxed in (I feel boxed in)
Everything is delusion, trust in nothing
Escape as long as you can (Escape as long, as you can!)
The fire without heat, the life without dreams
08. Dead Flowers - Lyrics:
The frames are blank and the flowers are fucking dead. Fuck!
I'm drowning in thoughts, the time has come once again
Oh yeah oh!
Overslept the whole day, still lying on my bed and weltering back and forth
Thousands of thoughts whiz around in my head
It's hard to explain what's still growing in me
Just look into my eyes for the last time
The time has come for me to rise
(Just look into my eyes)
Just look into my eyes for the last time
My mind was covered by shadows
Dark forces have pulled me away for too long
The half life I follow on this railroad line
But my train has left the station for a long time. Oh!
I just wanted to wake up from this nightmare
But there was no way to turn the page
Issues, fears of loss, paranoia, jealousy
At some point I just wanted to run, to run away
But you, you didn't want to face what we have become
Can you see what you've done to me and to yourself?
(Dead slowly I can recognize myself)
Dead slowly I can recognize myself in the mirror again
Tonight I try to forget
The frames are blank and the flowers are fucking dead
It's my life now I take it back
I was waiting for the problems to solve themselves
Too weak to resist the fight against you and myself
The more I've searched the less I've found
This is the last time that you drag me back down. Yeah!
Fragments of dreams
Half asleep, nothing is what it seems. Nothing!
You let me down (Nothing!) you let me drown
I'm never looking back again, you got that? Oh!
Yeah!
I was waiting for the problems to solve themselves
Too weak to resist the fight against you and myself
The more I've searched the less I've found
This is the last time that you drag me back down
The more I've searched (the more I've searched) the less I've found
This is the last time (this is the last time!)
I'm never looking back again
I was just a mask with a crooked smile
You tried to control me for quite a while
I was on the ropes for too long
Nothing left but a bitter taste on my tongue. Yeah!
But now I know how to hide the scars
The time has come for me to rise again
09. Deep Sleep - Lyrics:
Free fall!
Free fall into a deep sleep
With a box of photos on my knees
Into a world without time and space
It's hard for me to cope with when I'm awake
All my life I was cutting corners
I always felt like a useless stoner
Every step I took was in slow motion
Heal the past, let go of what was
Live the present, accept what it is
Dream of the future, have faith in what will be
But time heals nothing unless you move along with it
I try to breast the waves in the ocean. Oh!
Everything that happen in my head is real
The moon is my spotlight and now you can see how I feel
Time flies, the time arrives. Oh!
No moment to waste, no memory to repress
No place to hide, no lie to deny
Always searching for the faults and imperfections
A gilded cage I can't escape
Hoping for an insight I will probably never find
The clock is ticking (Oh!)
Time is the wave upon the shore
It takes some things away but it brings other things
Set the anchor in the bay
Heal the past, let go of what was
Live the present, accept what it is
Dream of the future, have faith in what will be
But time heals nothing unless you move along with it
The sound of the moving water makes everything fade away but I must wake up
My eyes slowly adjust to darkness
Now I know a clean surface will rise
The sun shines through the dark clouds. Oh!
10. Coexistence - Lyrics:
"A few people laughed, a few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita;
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
And to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says
Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another"
"Why is it that countries which we call strong are so powerful in creating wars, but are so weak in bringing peace?"
"We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world - or to make it the last."
[Instrumental]
"Our task is to look at the structure of why we're failing as human beings
And I say all of us
And if you don't have faith in the people
What do you have faith in?"
11. New World - Lyrics:
I step into a world
A world I have never seen before
Where the haunt is bagged and love is the core (love is the core)
Warm lights surrounding my unfrozen mind
Time is standing still for a blink of an eye
I'm no longer a slave of the human kind. Yeah!
My deepest fears seem to have lapsed
My enemies, antagonists, already collapsed
Now it feels like the biggest fight has been won in this life
But who's able to follow me over the edge of the knife?
Imaginary land (Oh!) please be real, I don't want to leave you anymore
So please be sealed
Keep that burning door locked forever
I need to save the new essence
Let me breathe in the smell of hope until my disappearance
This is the new freedom called peace
Pick up the trail and follow me
Follow me away from the worlds disease
Follow me (Follow me!)
This is the place for those who don't give up
The final destination beyond selfishness and every spiteful act
I see your laughing face
Your laughing face full of salvation
But wait (But wait), there is something more (Something more!)
Suddenly I'm in a fight against the question
Like a spike in my mind, unable to ignore
Searching for a reason
For a reason I can't find
What am I even looking for?
(What am I even looking for?)
What am I even looking for?
(What am I even looking for?)
Only one black thought and my knees are shaking
I can feel my heartbeat, hear my heart scream
The gloomy sounds of a tremor makes me breathless
Like a wicked hand, it's on my neck
Trying to suppress; to suppress my peace of mind
The lights turn green and I watch reality thrive
What the hell is happening? This place can't break
I need to stay, but I can't hide
Billows of smoke breaking through the ground
Billows of smoke, Yeah!
I'm falling but I don't want to be crawling out of my skin
The sad reality is catching up with me
Yeah!
This is the awakening
This is the awakening
This is the awakening
Locked up behind these walls
Ages of trying to cope
Behind December's walls
Years and years of finding myself
This was the longest journey I've ever made
Days of wasting tears and no one cares
Countless nights, drowning in worthless nightmares
Ages of trying to cope
Ages of not giving up hope
Keeping alive the hope for a deeper sense
For a better understanding of my world
My destiny, my goals and myself
Climbing out of that endless misery
No security, no confirmation of an end
Alone in the masses, Alone in the masses...
Alone in the masses
Yeah!
Is there anybody on my side?
Please appear now
I feel, I feel myself slowly crumbling
Yeah!
And when the rain is coming I can feel myself melting into the ground
Becoming the puppet I never meant to be
I don't know how, I don't know why
So sure I don't deserve this
But there came an eastern wind that brought me forward
Pushed me out of the sludge
Formed my actual self
Buried my inner demons
Locked up December's walls
(Locked up) Behind December's walls
The rain can't force me down, can't force me down anymore
I'm strong enough to hold back the storms now
Seeing my visions clear like never before
From that day I met you
For what you are, for what you saw in me
Now I can see clearly all the wrong paths I took
The prospect is perfect
From the roof I see down the walls
From the roof I am bulletproof
I am bulletproof
(From the roof I see down the walls, from the roof)
I am bulletproof, I am bulletproof...
And if the vultures are ever circling above me again
You can be sure I won't let you go
Because I know you can still feel my passion
Strengthened by the scars I've collected in the past
I will move heaven and earth to save this
Because...I am bulletproof!
I... AM... BULLETPROOF!
02. Restless - Lyrics:
Restless!
We raise, we fall
Restless!
Restless!
We raise, we fall
What was that, where the hell have I gone through?
What happened to me?
Realize that I've lost control
My body is paralyzed, my mind is blurred
On the ground like a fallen leaf, fallen from the trembling tree
Not living, just killing time
I'm afraid to lose what was mine
I feel so, I feel so restless!
We raise, we fall
What if this was my last breath?
Foreign in my own body and mind
It seems like I'm stranded on a dark cloud, where there's no place to hide
Alone, alone in the dark, hoping for my sunrise
Somebody must hear my inaudible cry for help
Please show me the way out
(What, what)
(Please show me the way out!)
I'm chasing the wind and try to catch the light
How many hours will it still take?
Staring up to the clouds above and listening to the same damn song over and over again
I want to run away
Run away from myself, because at any moment everything can change (everything can change)
What is this, what was that?
How many hours will it still take?
(What, what)
What is this, what was that?
I want to run away from myself
What is this, what was that?
I assume it's the normal circle of despair after touching the sky
And now it is falling down on me
Was it worth it?
(Was it worth it?)
Was is it really worth it?
What if I can't ever be free anymore?
Let's go! (Oh!)
I feel so, i feel so...
Restless!
We raise, we fall
What if this was my last breath?
Foreign in my own body and mind
It seems like I'm stranded on a dark cloud, where there's no place to hide
Alone, alone in the dark, hoping for my sunrise
Somebody must hear my inaudible cry for help
Please show me the way out
Is this, is this the reality or just an illusion?
Bite my tongue to see if I can still feel
Time vanishes into oblivion, into a black hole
Please help me out!

Brainwash, no ifs, no buts
Everything makes sense to you
It leaves deep scars behind
But no matter what
Keep breathing, day in day out
Speak up, shout out, somebody will hear you
No matter what, I'm going through - with or without you
Everything is delusion
I step outside, close the door and even at this time I feel boxed in (I feel boxed in)
Everything is delusion, trust in nothing
Escape as long as you can (Escape as long, as you can!)
The fire without heat, the life without dreams
08. Dead Flowers - Lyrics:
The frames are blank and the flowers are fucking dead. Fuck!
I'm drowning in thoughts, the time has come once again
Oh yeah oh!
Overslept the whole day, still lying on my bed and weltering back and forth
Thousands of thoughts whiz around in my head
It's hard to explain what's still growing in me
Just look into my eyes for the last time
The time has come for me to rise
(Just look into my eyes)
Just look into my eyes for the last time
My mind was covered by shadows
Dark forces have pulled me away for too long
The half life I follow on this railroad line
But my train has left the station for a long time. Oh!
I just wanted to wake up from this nightmare
But there was no way to turn the page
Issues, fears of loss, paranoia, jealousy
At some point I just wanted to run, to run away
But you, you didn't want to face what we have become
Can you see what you've done to me and to yourself?
(Dead slowly I can recognize myself)
Dead slowly I can recognize myself in the mirror again
Tonight I try to forget
The frames are blank and the flowers are fucking dead
It's my life now I take it back
I was waiting for the problems to solve themselves
Too weak to resist the fight against you and myself
The more I've searched the less I've found
This is the last time that you drag me back down. Yeah!
Fragments of dreams
Half asleep, nothing is what it seems. Nothing!
You let me down (Nothing!) you let me drown
I'm never looking back again, you got that? Oh!
Yeah!
I was waiting for the problems to solve themselves
Too weak to resist the fight against you and myself
The more I've searched the less I've found
This is the last time that you drag me back down
The more I've searched (the more I've searched) the less I've found
This is the last time (this is the last time!)
I'm never looking back again
I was just a mask with a crooked smile
You tried to control me for quite a while
I was on the ropes for too long
Nothing left but a bitter taste on my tongue. Yeah!
But now I know how to hide the scars
The time has come for me to rise again
09. Deep Sleep - Lyrics:
Free fall!
Free fall into a deep sleep
With a box of photos on my knees
Into a world without time and space
It's hard for me to cope with when I'm awake
All my life I was cutting corners
I always felt like a useless stoner
Every step I took was in slow motion
Heal the past, let go of what was
Live the present, accept what it is
Dream of the future, have faith in what will be
But time heals nothing unless you move along with it
I try to breast the waves in the ocean. Oh!
Everything that happen in my head is real
The moon is my spotlight and now you can see how I feel
Time flies, the time arrives. Oh!
No moment to waste, no memory to repress
No place to hide, no lie to deny
Always searching for the faults and imperfections
A gilded cage I can't escape
Hoping for an insight I will probably never find
The clock is ticking (Oh!)
Time is the wave upon the shore
It takes some things away but it brings other things
Set the anchor in the bay
Heal the past, let go of what was
Live the present, accept what it is
Dream of the future, have faith in what will be
But time heals nothing unless you move along with it
The sound of the moving water makes everything fade away but I must wake up
My eyes slowly adjust to darkness
Now I know a clean surface will rise
The sun shines through the dark clouds. Oh!
10. Coexistence - Lyrics:
"A few people laughed, a few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita;
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
And to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says
Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another"
"Why is it that countries which we call strong are so powerful in creating wars, but are so weak in bringing peace?"
"We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world - or to make it the last."
[Instrumental]
"Our task is to look at the structure of why we're failing as human beings
And I say all of us
And if you don't have faith in the people
What do you have faith in?"
11. New World - Lyrics:
I step into a world
A world I have never seen before
Where the haunt is bagged and love is the core (love is the core)
Warm lights surrounding my unfrozen mind
Time is standing still for a blink of an eye
I'm no longer a slave of the human kind. Yeah!
My deepest fears seem to have lapsed
My enemies, antagonists, already collapsed
Now it feels like the biggest fight has been won in this life
But who's able to follow me over the edge of the knife?
Imaginary land (Oh!) please be real, I don't want to leave you anymore
So please be sealed
Keep that burning door locked forever
I need to save the new essence
Let me breathe in the smell of hope until my disappearance
This is the new freedom called peace
Pick up the trail and follow me
Follow me away from the worlds disease
Follow me (Follow me!)
This is the place for those who don't give up
The final destination beyond selfishness and every spiteful act
I see your laughing face
Your laughing face full of salvation
But wait (But wait), there is something more (Something more!)
Suddenly I'm in a fight against the question
Like a spike in my mind, unable to ignore
Searching for a reason
For a reason I can't find
What am I even looking for?
(What am I even looking for?)
What am I even looking for?
(What am I even looking for?)
Only one black thought and my knees are shaking
I can feel my heartbeat, hear my heart scream
The gloomy sounds of a tremor makes me breathless
Like a wicked hand, it's on my neck
Trying to suppress; to suppress my peace of mind
The lights turn green and I watch reality thrive
What the hell is happening? This place can't break
I need to stay, but I can't hide
Billows of smoke breaking through the ground
Billows of smoke, Yeah!
I'm falling but I don't want to be crawling out of my skin
The sad reality is catching up with me
Yeah!
This is the awakening
This is the awakening
This is the awakening
